Philip the Apostle

Philip the Apostle (died 80 AD) was one of Jesus' Twelve Apostles.

Biography
Philip was born in Bethsaida, Galilee, Roman Empire, and he grew up with Andrew the Apostle and Saint Peter. He was a follower of John the Baptist when John pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God, and he introduced Bartholomew to Jesus. Philip was sent as a Christian missionary to Greece, Phrygia, and Syria, and he converted the wife of the proconsul of Hierapolis in Anatolia after performing miracles. This enraged the proconsul, who had Philip crucified upside-down; Philip preached while he was on the cross, attracting a crowd which let Bartholomew the Apostle off of his cross. Philip was also let go, but he was instead executed by beheading.
